Is it safe to have an exterminator spray for bugs while my pets are in the house?

Ask the Vet:“Is it safe to have an exterminator spray for bugs while my pets are in the house?” “當寵物在家時，請人來滅蟲安全嗎？”

Q&A with Dr Pauline Taylor, BVM&S MACVSc

DR. PAULINE SAYS:

I would not recommend exterminators spray while your pets are at home. I would advise you remove all pets from your house and keep them away for a few hours, overnight if possible & certainly for birds. Make sure you tell the exterminators in advance that you have pets at home as they may vary what chemicals they use in their spray.
我不推薦在寵物在家的時候請人來噴滅蟲劑。我建議你可以將寵物帶離家中幾小時，如果可以的話，第二天才帶回家中更好。而雀鳥類則必須要過一晚後才帶回家。緊記要在滅蟲的人來之前通知他們家中有寵物，因為他們可能會選用不同的滅蟲劑。
